This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Have you ever wondered what worms do to make soil richer and why are they important to our environment?
I teach 28 3rd grade at school in Northern California with high poverty level.
My children are curious about the world around them, discovering the answers to the questions posed in science. However, they have few resources at home to accomplish this.
My Project
I would like a worm composting bin thanks to FEED USA for promoting environmental education. I would for love my children to see the wonder of worms and their ability to make composting material to enrich the soil. We will use the material generated in our school garden. Students will be able to incorporate paper wastes from the classroom, bits of their lunch and see how these little critters are so good for our environment. It will be real life recycling at work in my classroom. (We can use these worms as our class pets too - no fur allergies to worry about either!)
If you donate to this project you will be giving children a chance to make friends and play with worms, composting material for our school garden, and learn how to be environmentally savvy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
